Answer:
Amplitude is decreased by a factor of if intensity is decreased by a factor of 3.
Explanation:
Intensity of a sound wave is directly proportional to the square of its amplitude.
Therefore, if intensity is and amplitude is
, then
, where,
is constant of proportionality.
Now, if intensity of sound wave is decreased by a factor of 3. So,
New intensity is,
Plug in for
. This gives,
Therefore, amplitude is decreased by a factor of .
Answer:
(C). The line integral of the magnetic field around a closed loop
Explanation:
Faraday's law states that induced emf is directly proportional to the time rate of change of magnetic flux.
This can be written mathematically as;
is the rate of change of the magnetic flux through a surface bounded by the loop.
ΔФ = BA
where;
ΔФ is change in flux
B is the magnetic field
A is the area of the loop
Thus, according to Faraday's law of electric generators
∫BdL = = EMF
Therefore, the line integral of the magnetic field around a closed loop is equal to the negative of the rate of change of the magnetic flux through the area enclosed by the loop.
The correct option is "C"
(C). The line integral of the magnetic field around a closed loop
Answer: 6,400 km
Explanation:
The weight of a person is given by:
where m is the mass of the person and g is the acceleration due to gravity. While the mass does not depend on the height above the surface, the value of g does, following the formula:
where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth's mass
r is the distance of the person from the Earth's center
The problem says that the person weighs 800 N at the Earth's surface, so when r=R (Earth's radius):
(1)
Now we want to find the height h above the surface at which the weight of the man is 200 N:
(2)
If we divide eq.(1) by eq.(2), we get
By solving the equation, we find:
which has two solutions:
--> negative solution, we can ignore it
--> this is our solution
Since the Earth's radius is , the person should be at
above Earth's surface.
